Doing a decent job pffffftt, the guy is an absolute joke. His whole handling of the Brittney Higgins situation and his general disdain for females says it all.  These Libs are a shower of scum bags and to back them and suggest they are doing a good job is "Tory" behaviour.  Absolutely laughable Morrison is doing a good job

Hi Guys, as the topic title says UK plumber looking for work in Perth, preferably south of the river. I'm willing to turn my hand to any graft and i'm not shy of hard work. Thanks in advance 

Hi Guys, just a question regarding car insurance in oz and more importantly your no claims. Can i use my no claims bonus when i apply for car insurance in Australia. Cheers Ned

Hi Guys, i know there's info on the site about shipping power tools but the movecube comes in a few weeks and i'm stumped. The paper work from movecube states no batteries so i dont want to mess up. Any advice would be appreciated as i have  various cordless tools all powered by lithium batteries?????

Hi Guys, how in depth does the items list need to be for your movecube?? Do i need to count and list the amount of photo's/dvd's that are in each box, are customs going to be that strict. Cheers Ned

Yes that should be absolutely fine.

Pens are expensive here so it’s a good move to bring them with you if you have the room.
A lot of people use the security panels for pens they cost around $45 a panel but a dachshund can chew threw them so anything else has no chance. Bunnings sell panels for around $89 each https://www.bunnings.com.au/rapidmesh-1-2m-x-1-8m-modular-pet-enclosure-panel_p3440260 and I think the doors are $130, they are ok as you can make them as long or wide as you want. 
‘How many dogs are you bringing? Don’t forget to keep an eye on all these new guidelines/rules and regs 

Thanks for the info PQ, i'm not bringing any dogs. Our old terrier is staying with my son, she's knocking on now.

Hi Guys, I'm hoping to ship my dog pens in our container. Would i just follow the usual plan for metal items and scrub/jet wash, then jeyes fluid?

It can take more than 6 months. If possible, lodge onshore and lodge the visa application at the same time. Your wife could work for the employer on her bridging visa while the 186 is being processed.

Alternatively, the employer could sponsor your wife for a 482 to get her here faster. Nominations in the Short Term stream are taking around 49 days, and nominations in the Medium Long Term stream are taking around 38 days. Midwife 254111 is on the MLTSSL.

Thanks for the information lisa, sadly my wife is 44 so the 482 is out of the question. Would you recommend we lodge the visa application at the same time as the nomination. Is there not a risk of losing out?? We are pushed for time . Thanks 

Hi guys, just a quick question about the nomination process. A healthcare provider has agreed to sponsor my wife for a 186 visa. How long is the nomination process likely to take. Thanks in advance 

I wouldnt be doing any bridging/iron courses, do you not think that topping up to degree would be better and cheaper. Its $10,000 for the iron course which equates to roughly £5500. CPD Modules come in at £500-£700 and your dissertation £1250 ish depending on the university. So if you had a Dip He and had accrued 240 credits you would be looking at 4 modules and a dissertation. That would be a potential cost of £3250 or worst case £4050 and if you already had extra credits the cost would be less. If it were me or rather my good lady who is a Midwife waiting on the glorious organisation that is AHPRA, well i would spend my £££££ in blighty. I wouldnt put anymore hard earned cash in to the Australian coffers. cheers Ned

How rude! Perhaps a few pommy nurses with diplomas with attitudes towards Australian nurses with ttelling them their Bachelor of Nursing was less than the UK Dip HE and they were shite at nursing started this all off in the first place like this. Dam colonists.

Makes me ashamed.

It was a tad out of order what was said but I feel it was just frustration. Ceridwyn you seem to troll the nursing section of sites chipping away with bitterness towards the nmc. Poms on here would be less critical of ahpra if they were up front. They are quick to take our dosh and even quicker to nudge them goal posts further out of reach. Cheers ned

If i were you i would hang the latch and wait for a positive assessment of a Dip He trained nurse. Ahpra will gladly take your hard earned reddies, but i feel it may be a waste of money on your part. cheers Ned

Well guys its "Squeeky bum time" i do hope there are some success stories real soon. My good lady is in the Dip He boat who else is paddling up Sh-t creek with her:cry: seems there are quite a few. cheers Ned

I cant see the folk at AHPRA doing anything that might clarify things i dont think its in their DNA. With regards to the AQF frame work, if the AQF say a three year full time course is level 7 then Dip He must be equivalent to oz bachelor degree.

Very well put posts jink , one problem i have with the folk at AHPRA is the fact they continue to take $$$$$'s. They receive applications from Dip He nurses/midwives and take the payment. Surely if they have no intention of granting registration, they should refund any payment. A simple glance at the form would tell them degree or Dip He and no body would be out of pocket. As for the Dip He being classed as a level 5 on the AQA scale, this i cant see happening. The Dip He course is 3 years in length and was sufficient prior to october 2013.

The thing that puzzles me is the fact anmac keep approving people whilst the folk at ahpra seem to be making a hash of things. They are also very sharp at taking the $$$$$$ from your bank account. If they do start refusing applications australia will be awash with IQNM with permanent residency, what a foookin joke.

I know it must be hard but people just need to sit tight. My wife submitted her application to AHPRA in march this year and is waiting for a decision. With the new criteria's coupled with the fact this is probably the busiest period for AHPRA. I dont think things will gather much momentum at the minute and the wait will continue. It is too easy to get perplexed when no news is forthcoming and then you come on here and read different folk airing their problems it just adds fuel to the fire. The fact that ANMAC are still giving positive assessment results and visa's are being issued must say something. I keep reading that there isnt a shortage of nurses but a quick look on seek jobsite tells me otherwise. There seems to be a ridiculous amount of jobs for nurses and midwives, there are also recruitment drives going on in the uk and ireland. cheers Ned ps Keep the faith and try to be patient guys.

I think they are setting up a similar situation for nurses/midwives as they have for tradesmen/women. Were by you get PR with skills assessment but cant work until you have the relevant australian qualifications. It seems they are out to make some extra $$$$$$$$$$$$$$'s and the goal posts get moved once more.
